A more significant event, he said, was the Nov. 8 congressional election, which resulted in what he called "a pro-life victory of sweeping and historic proportion." The Brookline shootings drew a "more visceral" public reaction than past attacks on abortion clinics because they took the lives of receptionists rather than doctors who perform abortions, Land said.

"There are many 'Dr. Kings' among us now," she said. "Some will never see a TV camera or be quoted in the L.A. Times. But in their communities, on their block, in their neighborhood, their churches, synagogues and homes, they're continuing to be voices for the people who have no voice.

We have to encourage and affirm those people," she said.

A Texas-born Latino, Mata was greatly influenced by his father, a Nazarene minister. "My dad's motto was, 'I'm always going to root for the He meant anyone marginalized in society because of color, disability or by just being different," Mata said. "As a result, I took it for granted that to be a Christian meant that we would be involved in certain kinds of issues. "What Dr.

King was trying to do was see that all people, regardless of their station in life, can experience themselves as truly human with dignity, with a future. Under his leadership, the human rights movement of the '60s made it possible for everyone not just for African Americans to aspire to that," Mata said. Nevertheless, he pointed out, even in multicultural Los Angeles, inter-ethnic relations "don't just happen. They have to be intentional and more than just appreciating each other's foods." Broadous one of five clergy members in her family also spoke this week about her story. Born and raised in Pacoima, where her father founded the Calvary Baptist Church, she paid tribute to both her parents, who "loved and prayed for the rebellious college student" she was before she entered the seminary and was sent by the Baptists to volunteer in Zaire for three years and to monitor the first free elections in South Africa in 1994.
